Latest women's volleyball match schedule today: 'Dream' final

Ngoc Hoa shows class

Returning after a long break from the top level, 37-year-old Nguyen Thi Ngoc Hoa still shows her class as the former number 1 player in Vietnam. Every time coach Thai Quang Lai puts her on the field, Ngoc Hoa shows her ability. Fans rarely see her jumping high and smashing the ball powerfully to score points. Instead, she often launches skillful shots that leave her opponents unable to react. This style of play by Ngoc Hoa does not require much effort but is very effective. In the semi-final match against LPBank Ninh Binh Club, in addition to being effective in attacking, Ngoc Hoa also supported the defense well, limiting the very powerful attacks of Nguyen Thi Bich Tuyen. Ngoc Hoa's presence on the field also has a spiritual meaning, helping her teammates, including many young faces, to be more confident, especially at important moments of the match.

Duc Giang Chemical Club “dreams” of winning the championship for the first time

"Coach Ngoc Hoa's agreement to return to play helps VTV Binh Dien Long An Club have a leader. Success is the effort of the whole team, but in the context of the club's lack of personnel, Ngoc Hoa's agreement to return is a sacrifice and dedication. We have completed the goal of entering the top 4, now there is only one step left until the final match, so we encourage each other to strive to achieve the highest results," Coach Thai Quang Lai shared.

Meanwhile, the "monument" of Vietnamese women's volleyball Ngoc Hoa said: "I am always mentally prepared to go out on the field to support the players. Vietnamese women's volleyball now has many strong teams and many excellent individuals, so the competition is more fierce than before. I myself can only try my best and contribute a small part of my efforts to the VTV Binh Dien Long An team."

In the previous 4 national championships of VTV Binh Dien Long An Club in 2009, 2011, 2017, 2018, Ngoc Hoa had her mark. This time, after 6 years of returning to the final, she and her team have a chance to be crowned.

Fierce competition

Coach Thai Quang Lai said that this year's national championship final will be very exciting and the opportunity will be equally divided between Duc Giang Chemical Club and VTV Binh Dien Long An. "According to my observation, this year's Duc Giang Chemical team has a change in the libero position when Le Thi Thanh Lien returns with good defensive ability, helping the team take an effective first step, thereby organizing favorable attacks. Another position that also plays very well is Bich Thuy. She is in high form, has fast, powerful and effective one-legged shots. In addition, Kenyan foreign player Sharon Chepchumba also plays a role in the attack line," said coach Thai Quang Lai.

One of the factors that makes Duc Giang Chemicals team athletes always enter the field with "fiery" spirit is the large bonuses. Remember at the Hung Vuong Cup at the beginning of the year, this team was awarded up to 2 billion VND if they defeated VTV Binh Dien Long An Club in the semi-finals, but the results were not as expected. In the first stage of this year's tournament, Duc Giang Chemicals team also lost 1-3 to VTV Binh Dien Long An, so they are eager to "collect the debt".

Meanwhile, the strength of VTV Binh Dien Long An Club, in addition to the experience and bravery of Ngoc Hoa, also includes the youth of striker Tra My, who scored the highest points for the team in the recent semi-final match. French foreign player Joyce also played quite well in the attack. After trying to score 2 decisive points to help VTV Binh Dien Long An Club win, this foreign player suffered a muscle strain, showing that his physical foundation is not really full. However, coach Thai Quang Lai said that Joyce is recovering very well, ready for the final match.

Coach Pham Van Long of Duc Giang Chemical Club and Thai Quang Lai of VTV Binh Dien Long An both clearly understand each other's strengths and weaknesses and are ready to launch a decisive blow in the championship match.
